Rounding out today's news is a gaggle of new street date changes. So mark your calendars...

After enticing fans with both R-rated and Uncut versions of their hit zombie remake Dawn of the Dead, Universal Studios Home Video has bumped back the release until October 19th, along with the reissue of John Carpenter's The Thing and the Adam Sandler Happy Gilmore/Billy Madison two-pack. Features and retail price remain the same.

Also getting the boot from Buena Vista Home Entertainment are two upcoming theatrical comedies, the Coen Brothers' remake of The Ladykillers and Kevin Smith's Jersey Girl. However, this time the news is good, as both will now street a week earlier on September 7th. Again, no feature or pricing changes. And Buena Vista has also announced that the next wave of Hayao Myazaki animated titles, Porco Rosso, Naussica and My Neighbor Totoro, will now debut sometime in 2005. Stay tuned.

Last but not least, Warner Home Video will debut The Wire: Complete First Season a month later, on October 12th.
